I've been asked to do a Wire Sculpture Workshop for The Ramona Art Guild!  I did a wire sculpture demo for RAG  in Nov. of 2009, here is a link to the slideshow I did at that time Wire sculpture
If you enter wire in the search area in the upper left of the blog you will see more of my wire creations.  This should be allot of fun.  I have some ideas for very simple mobiles and turning a contour drawing into wire sculpture.  I will have a station for forming of the wire. Hammering is good for the soul! I will provide several types of wire to work with.  You are welcome to bring some of your own if you've been saving it for "something".

If you've ever looked at something made with wire and wondered if you could do it yourself, here is a chance to explore some of the possibilities of working with wire!

Fused Glass Earrings, Copper necklace, Cat Sketches

Fused Dichroic Glass and Silver Earrings
These were made for an artist friend in trade for a beautiful pastel painting she did of our dog Sadie

Copper necklace. I enjoy the forming and hammering, having the joints makes for a better fit. The first one that was one piece had to be fit to each neck.

I've been surprised that the copper necklaces lay flat and are comfortable to wear.

Quick sketches of new cat Spotessa or "Fatcat" She is quite a charactor I plan a little book about her coming to her new home.



Not long after we got her we were given 2 kittens. She didn't like them at first, now she enjoys them and they play.

She REALLY didn't like Sadie when they met, now they are getting along fine!

Copper necklace

Here is a new Copper necklace, I like to work with metals, the copper is a good way to experiment with large gauge wire without the expence of Silver.

The first necklace seemed to have to be bent or fitted to indivual necks so on this one I made a joint. It worked well, fits down on individual necks much better.

This one I simplified even more.

An artist friend won a wire necklace at the Ramona Art Guilds Wire demo I did. When she wore it I could see she needed some earrings to wear with it. This is the first pair I tried, the photo makes them look huge, I have to get some copper wire the right gauge and try some more.

This pendant with embedded silver fired looking copper so I thought it would be a good one to make a copper necklace to go with it. I think I'll try a smaller gauge wire.

This is the finished necklace:
